I hope that if there is a remaster then those balancing issues will be ironed out, honestly NOLF's "spiritual successors", Wolfenstein The New Order and The New Colossus proved that you can have tense action-stealth gameplay even if your crosshair works like if you were playing Doom. For example when I played NOLF 1 again around 3 years ago I found it very hard to adjust to how the game handles weapon accuracy: having to stand still and wait for accurate shots works perfectly well on stealth missions but when you have to go in with guns blazing shooting can feel bad since you have to stop to shoot while the enemy AI is sharpshooting you with AKs from a 100 meters away. On the game mechanics side though the game has a few issues: game balance is not exactly good on higher difficulties and some mechanics are just weird for a game that aims to be just as much action as stealth. When it comes to the presentation, the art style, the story and overall narrative NOLF 1 holds up just as good as any true classic would, maybe even a bit better. Imagine one great level (of course it's the first one) and a lot of a terrible ones with horrendous level design, uninspired enemy placements (most of the guys just run at you in a straight line, it's that bad), a lot of reused assets from NOLF 2 and a nearly non-existent story that manages to be terrible even in its non-existence.Īs for NOLF being overrated: not at all, it's just that some elements of it aged badly, especially when it comes to the first game. :unsure: If you ask me it's almost as bad Blood 2, the difference is that JACK is mostly a finished product so you know, it actually functions as a video game.
